Took our
time packing up this morning as we were only travelling 53 kms to Undara. When we got here we booked for a tour of the
Lava Tubes. We have a really great
caravan site – the sites area really big and most of them have their own
individual fire pits. Undara Experience
has lots of different accommodation – there is the caravan park, a Swag Tent
Village, Safari Shelter and also some railway carriages that have been
restored. There is one carriage that
originated from Manchester.
We got on
the tour bus at 1pm and were driven about 6km out to the tubes. Along the way the guide pointed out lots of
interesting things. We saw lots of
Wallaroos and Eastern Grey Kangaroos.
The lava
tubes we visited were massive. We went
through the Road Cave and the Arch Complex.
In the Arch Complex there was about 6 inches of water on either side of
the board walk and the reflection through the water as incredible. It duplicated what was above it making it
look much deeper than it actually was.
It was quite disorientating at times.
It was very hard getting photographs that did the whole thing
justice. Where the lava flow had gone
through the tubes was very evident on the walls.
We met up
again with Lorraine & Geoff the couple from Mount Martha so we had happy
hour with them. They leave tomorrow for
Cairns.
Tonight we
went to a camp fire and listened to one of the guides tell us all about
different kangaroos and wallabies. It
was very interesting.
